About this audiobook
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Anthony M. DeStefano takes you inside John Gotti's inner circle to reveal the dark hearts and violent deeds of the most remorseless and cold-blooded characters in organized crime. Men so vicious even the other Mafia families were terrified of them. Meet Gotti's Boys . . .
- Charles Carneglia: the ruthless junkyard dog who allegedly disposed of bodies for the mob-by dissolving them in acid then displaying their jewels.
- Gene Gotti: the younger Gotti brother who ran a multimillion-dollar drug smuggling ring-enraging his bosses in the Gambino family.
- Angelo "Quack-Quack" Ruggiero: the loose-lipped contract killer who was wire-tapped by the FBI-and dared to insult Gotti behind his back.
- Tony "Roach" Rampino: the hardcore stoner who looked like a cockroach-and used his gangly arms and horror-mask face to frighten his enemies.
- "Sammy the Bull" Gravano: the Gambino underboss who helped John Gotti execute Gambino mob boss Paul Castellano-then sang like a canary to take Gotti down.
Contains mature themes.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The same old story from a different angle. The reader appears to be rushing through the words.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5An interesting book about the boys who surrounded John Gotti on his ascension to the throne if you will, in taking control of the Gambino family. Probably the most well know being Sammy Gravano who ultimately was his undoing. The mob is always a good read for us the real life drama of the premiere bad guys. Many of these good fellows end up either dead or dead in serving out their terms behind bars. So all's well that ends well; or maybe.
